Cleaning Mower Housing
To ensure best performance, keep underside of mower
housing and grass deflector clean.
1.
Stop engine and pull wire off spark plug
(Fig. 10).
2.
Drain gasoline from fuel tank: refer to Draining
Gasoline, page 7.
3.
Tip mower on its left side (Fig. 20).
4.
Remove dirt and grass clippings that stick to
housing by spraying it with a garden hose.
Scrape out remaining debris with hardwood
scraper. Avoid burrs and sharp edges.
Storage
1.
For long term storage, either drain gasoline from
fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to the gasoline.
To drain gasoline, refer to Draining Gasoline,
page 7. After fuel is drained, start engine and
let it idle until all fuel is consumed and engine
stops. Repeat the starting procedure two more
times to assure all gas is removed from the
engine. If gasoline is not drained, gum–like
varnish deposits will form and cause poor engine
operation, even starting problems.
Fuel can be left in gas tank only if a fuel
additive, such as Toro's Stabilizer/Conditioner, is
added to gasoline and run through engine before
storing. Toro's Stabilizer/Conditioner is a
petroleum distillate based conditioner/stabilizer.
Toro does not recommend stabilizers with an
10
alcohol base, such as ethanol, methanol or
isopropyl. Use fuel additive in recommended
quantities as specified on container.
Under normal conditions, fuel additives remain
effective in fuel for 6–8 months.
2.
Remove spark plug and pour 2 teaspoons of Toro
two–cycle oil into hole in cylinder. Pull starter
rope slowly to coat inside of cylinder. Install
spark plug and tighten to 10 ft–lb (13.6 N m).
DO NOT REINSTALL WIRE ON SPARK
PLUG.

Mower Housing, page 10.
